'The Big Short' 2024 Edition | iConnections Global Alts '24 Expert Panel

CNBC's Melissa Lee hosts a fascinating panel with former crew of FrontPoint at iConnections Global Alts 2024. This is the first time EVER that Steve Eisman, Danny Moses, Porter Collins and Vincent Daniel have shared the stage to reflect on the 2008 financial crisis and parallels they see today.

Great session and awesome to hear how close the movie was to reality.

Kudos to Melissa. She does just an excellent job of listening. That is the mark of a good moderator. She asks a brief but cogent question and then you can see her keep eye contact with the guest. She nods her head as she listens, thus encouraging the guest to continue talking. She also follows the flow of the conversation and asks follow up questions pertinent to the flow. "Then what?" "Really, why?" The best interviewers let the guests (especially these all stars) do all the talking. Melissa has become a real pro in the industry. I think she has become the best listener on CNBC. Hence the best interviewer.

These guys should have a weekly podcast. Seriously

What I've been looking forward to all week. The CNBC Fast Money interview was just too short.

Well done Mel! Great interview with a great panel.

[Brayness]

I think I heard somebody in the audience shout "ZERO"

The answer to the question "When will the debt matter" is - When the US starts having trouble selling when the US enters decline...aka when immigration flows turn negative and stay that way. Maybe even if immigration flows go neutral.

Really awesome. Thanks for the upload :)

[SkipDulcet]

You guys just keep putting up superior content. Thanks so much!

The most interesting forward looking comment they made is that the Fed will not let another financial crisis occur because in such an event they will print money. Then they said deficits do not matter. Until they will…

Inflation is much higher than the Feds "preferred measure" which excludes those daily items most viewed by normal people. The fiscal situation on the Federal level is even more important than the current debt, which is 134% of GDP.

Doom and gloom doesn't work anymore...THE FED HAS OUR BACK!

Retirement investments should align with your long-term goals, risk tolerance, and timeline. It's never too early to start planning for retirement, and regular contributions over time can make a big difference.

I want to know what Steve thinks of Steve Correl's wig on the film.
